You are extremely charitable my friend but Indonesia is not going to stop being Indonesia for Elon, so yes this is Musk’s strategic error. You don’t abrubtly change your entire multibillion dollar brand without doing some due diligence on the implications it will have. Or maybe he truly is deranged enough to believe he doesn’t need customers in 4th most populous country to run a successful social media site.

Yeah he apparently started making a statement to the press and only got about 5 words in before freezing and going blank, a classic show of senility.

Spez may idolize Elon, guess who Elon idolizes?

Great post terrible title.

The best de- endorsement will come from people’s experience on reddit as the quality of user engagement drops. There are people who genuinely will never give a shit and will stay there, but those are exactly the sort of lazy minds who made up the critical mass of the shallow “hivemind.” Id rather we make this a community that encourages independent thought more than bandwagoning.

Don’t waste your time engaging them on that platform unless you’re a child, douchebag, or troll. If your posts are actually good content, it sends a mixed message that good independent thinking redditors are whethering the shitstorm. Your actions will speak louder than your words, and our collective absence from their platform will speak volumes.

Lol thank you for this.

Now say it again but replace crytpocurrecy with Website aggregation. Its honestly not that different from leaving the big centralized reddit for the Fediverse… only to mostly end up in a few relatively huge alternatives in the name of decentralizing. Its just… human nature.

Whever anyone asks what the internet used to be like I send them to a little old site called www.homestarrunner.com It’s still up after all these years. Truly beautiful.

/r/gifs currently is following suit! If you still have a reddit account go vote ASAP! (Also unsubscribe from all your “business as usual” subs as possible, immediately, if you can’t delete your account immediately for whatever reason)

Lol, I can’t believe what I’m reading. Reddit admitting to the mod community that they have a duty to keep spaces “accessible to users.” They’ve had 20 years to keep their spaces accessible to people who require screen readers and so on. It’s been crickets until this week.
